Vacuum-Packed
To save on space and shipping costs
When packages are stacked,
So many items nowadays
Are sent out vacuum-packed.
My daughter’s teddy bear arrived,
All squished up in a ball.
You’d never guess that it could be
A teddy bear at all.
Yet once we managed (it was tough!)
To help the bear get out
From all his plastic, he puffed up
(Despite my nagging doubt).
The modern world has different ways
To send out what we need.
If we could vacuum-pack ourselves,
The airlines would take heed.
